Sorry for the late reply. Ok I just noticed you said this is a console application which means that when it gets to line 7 then it will just end.
You need to keep the app alive. Windows forms apps are kept alive for you but console apps will just die unless you tell them otherwise.
You can do this by putting a Console.Read() after line 5 or better still an endless loop. In a real app you would give a way of exiting the loop but for brevity this will do:
Imports System.Timers
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim aTimer As New System.Timers.Timer()
AddHandler aTimer.Elapsed, AddressOf DoFunction
aTimer.Interval = 2000
aTimer.Enabled = True
'aTimer.Start()
While True
End While
End Sub
Public Sub DoFunction(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As ElapsedEventArgs)
Console.WriteLine("Do Work")
End Sub
End Module
Ok I'm at work now - maybe you have time to get this in - I did this quickly in a few minutes so its not up to my usual standards - lacks error checking and commnents etc but maybe it will help in time?
using System;
class InchesToFeet
{
static void Main()
{
//Declare variable
int inches = 49;
//output to the screen
Console.WriteLine(inches.ToString() + " inches is ");
TotalFeet(inches);
TotalYards(inches);
Console.ReadLine();
}
//Method to pass inches
public static void TotalFeet(int inches)
{
//Calculation conversion for feet and inches
int feet;
int tInches;
feet = inches / 12;
tInches = inches % 12;
Console.WriteLine("{0} feet and {1} inches", feet, tInches);
}
public static void TotalYards(int inches)
{
int feet;
int tfeet;
int yards;
int tInches;
feet = inches / 12;
yards = feet / 3;
tfeet = feet % 3;
tInches = inches % 12;
Console.WriteLine("{0} yard {1} feet and {2} inches", yards, tfeet, tInches);
}
}
Ok sorry for saying its a mess, just being honest!
Is there any flexibility in these instructions. I wouldn't want to put a Main method in the InchesToFeet class as then this class is difficult to reuse.
If there is no flexibility and you have to do exactly as told I will happily code this for you.
Tell me in plain english what you want to achieve and I'll code it for you along with some explanation of good practice - eg classes should be named after nouns - eg Car, Person, Animal, Customer and the operations or methods should be named after verbs eg customer.Sell() or customer.Pay() and so on
Also your methods should not use Console as then they are tied to Console programs - you could not reuse your code in other apps - eg WinFroms or Webapps.
Better to have conversion methods return just the value and then output it to the Console from the main program or client code.
